Why Shire Prep ?

A nurturing environment for your child’s first learning experience out of the home

The Shire Prep program plays a significant part in the adjustment, nurturing and training of our children in what is - for many - their
first learning experience outside of the home.

The year before Kindergarten provides an exciting opportunity to capture their God-given curiosity and sense of adventure.

At Shire Prep your child can learn to adjust and develop school readiness through play, language-based activities and other structured
learning experiences. Read here about Shire Prep’s curriculum and here about our activities.

Experience a secure, supportive transition

Because we are committed to provide a secure, supportive transition from home to school, you and your child experience the warm, friendly
and caring atmosphere created by our staff and community.
